The Old Firm derby two weeks ago was lost to the Rangers 0-2. It was Celtic to see that there was nothing sporty left and the competitive season had already begun on 10 July with the first round of the Champions League qualification. While the blue arch rival celebrated a complete titleless year after the derby victory, like a World Cup, the Bhoys have a great opportunity this weekend to clinch the ninth national trophy in a row.
